The respondent failed to discharge the burden required to displace the usual costs rule; the petitioner engaged in mediation sufficiently and provided reasonable explanation for ceasing further mediation, the petitioner did not conduct litigation excessively and the respondent had failed to disclose his financial position, therefore the summons to vary costs is dismissed and the respondent must pay the petitioner's costs to be taxed if not agreed with the petitioner's legal aid costs taxed under the Legal Aid Regulations.
